A triangle has corners at points A, B, and C. Side AB has a length of #36 #. The distance between the intersection of point A's angle bisector with side BC and point B is #14 #. If side AC has a length of #36 #, what is the length of side BC?

Explanation:
Consider the diagram
We need to find the length of
For that we use the angle bisector theorem
#color(red)("AB")/color(lightgreen)("BD")=color(blue)("AC")/color(brown)("DC")#
So,
#color(brown)("DC"=14#
Then,the length of
